Hello fellow cruisers! I am currently on board Mariner and loving every single minute -- they are going to have to drag me kicking & screaming off this ship by the time next Monday rolls around!!

All of the enhancements that Debbie H went into aboard the Voyager are in place on Mariner. The food is better than I expected (and believe me, I expected it to be very very good!) and the staff is simply wonderful.

Met so many great people on board I can't even remember half their names and I have had more invitations to dine than I can count. In fact, the 2nd night we were joined by one of your (B&K) clients -- a lovely attorney named Patti. Linda is her agent. The Regent crowd is absolutely what I was looking for in my cruising travels and I truly feel "at home" here.

So happy to hear you are enjoying your fantastic cruise.
Thank you for reporting!

Good to hear from you and what a great way to celebrate your anniversary!

What a great posting....we sure are glad you're having so much fun. I can tell you give off lots of positive energy...Keep having a great time. I love John Barron, your CD,

Great to see your post. We will be on the Mariner the first time this June, and seeing your post makes me so eager!

Oh Priscilla you will love that ship - you and John will not be disappointed!!! Tony and I so hope to cruise with both in the future - we sure had fun on Voyager Med trip with you -

Priscilla if there is any way possible that you could find to stow me in your luggage..... :p

You are going to have an amazing time aboard that wonderful ship!

Joanna, I smile to think of our good times on that too-long-ago Med cruise. Here's hoping for a repeat with you and Tony somewhere sometime soon! :)

Cruzndiz, I'll pack light and we'll see if we can slip you in!

Tell St John we think of him often

Priscilla: if you want a chuckle, take a gander at my Mariner blog http://rsscmarinersoutherncaribbean.blogspot.com/

There is a link in there to my pictures, too

That was an incredible blog. Full of detail it must have taken you hours. I loved reading it and you have a wonderful sense of humor. Glad you posted this here.

Regarding your other post, I am going to ask Julie what that was in Stars. All this time I thought she worked for me - what do I know!!

On second thoughts I am so happy to have her back I am dancing down the halls, may just kiss her feet and not even ask. :nw:

Ngaire, I am tickled to see you using the "graemlins"!! You made me giggle!

What fun to read and look at all important 'people photo's' The ship inside and out looks beautiful. So nice to read a happy and positive review. Thanks for posting and Happy Anniversary

I loved reading your terrific blog and seeing your great photos. Thanks for sharing them with us!

I love the Mariner! With John Barron as CD and Elsa the Social Hostess you had the best!

Cruzndiz -- I was out of town away from a high-speed internet connection for a week-plus and didn't get to look at your blog until now. Your fantastic photos and descriptions definitely have me pining for our first experience on the Mariner. Thanks so much for the link. Oh, and a belated Happy Anniversary! What a great trip you had!

Love the blog! I recognized Handre from past Mariner cruises - I think he use to handle the Art Sales for Park West. How nice to see he's now Asst. Cruise Director.
